When a referee is asked to produce a report, she/he should reply to the Editorial Board as soon as possible, stating whether she/he accepts to act as a referee. In the case of a negative answer, the suggestion of an alternative referee or referees is warmly appreciated.

Referees are kindly requested to produce their reports within two months. In case they need more time, cannot produce their report in a reasonable time, or are unable to produce a report at all, they are requested to contact the corresponding editor immediately.

Referee reports: Referees are asked to produce a report in free style. The report should address the following issues:1. originality of the paper;2. conformity with the aims and scope of the JGM;3. correctness of the results and clarity of exposition;4. grammar, if necessary.

Recommendations: The referee is invited to conclude her/his assessment with one of the following recommendations:1. accept the paper as is;2. reject;3. ask the author(s) to revise the paper according to the specific suggestions in the referee's report.
